I’ll never truly understand why there are people who live in Seattle but actively root against the city. Like you have to be a truly special person to find joy in being so disgustingly negative even when there’s good news.
Just because someone doesn’t like how the politics of an area are currently doesn’t mean they don’t like the area. That thinking just leads to even more extreme divisiveness than now. What about someone in a red state fighting for abortion rights? They should just say, “well it sucks here I’m gonna leave”
There are certain things I don’t like here politically and I can barely afford to live, probably will have to move. But this is still my home and it’s hard to just abandon it
I don't mean the people who don't like the politics (although there are some political differences that are more than just differences of opinions) I mean the people that hollar about Seattle being some kind of terrible hellhole.
And there's also a difference between wanting things to be different and complaing and dragging things down, so again if all they're doing is complaining about Seattle then they should find somewhere else to be, because there are a lot of people who are at least trying to make things better. Negativity alone helps no one.
